gaussian_2d_moments

gaussian_2d_moments(data, fitmethod)

Guess the gaussian parameters of a distribution

Use for initial fitting parameters

the gaussian parameters of a 2D distribution by calculating its moments

Modified from : http://scipy-cookbook.readthedocs.io/items/FittingData.html

Parameters:

• data (float 2D-array) – 2D distrbution to evaluate
• fitmethod (string) – fit method that will be used: ‘gaussian_2d_fixedwidth’, ‘gaussian_2d_1width’ or ‘gaussian_2d_2width’

Returns:

(height, x, y), (height, x, y, sigma_x, sigma_y) or (height, x, y, sigma) depending on fitmethod

Return type:

floats
